How to fill this in
The end of the year can be a time for reflection, gratitude, and planning. With our inboxes quiet and our schedules free of meetings, we can afford to take a moment and think about what we achieved and whatβs next.
This is a simple template to help you do just that.
You should ideally block at least 1 hour to fill it all (but you donβt have to do it all at once - it might even be best to break it up). The more relaxed you are, the better. If you can use your calendar or journal entries to go through events from the past year, better still.
And remember, reflection is as much about celebration as it is about letting go. Well done on being there, on being you, and good luck for the year ahead!
